Helldivers 2 Update Patch Notes 01.000.104 Mar 26

Posted on by Michelle Pereira

The newest patch for Helldivers 2 is significantly smaller than previous updates and is intended to address issues with Arc based weaponry. Yes, the patch notes below really are that short.

A few days ago, the developers of Helldivers 2 identified the cause of persistent crashes for some players immediately after patch 01.000.103 was released on March 20:

 

We have identified the cause of the freezes many players have been experiencing, and we're in the process of building a patch to fix it that should be ready to deploy early next week. In the meantime, we advise against using the Arc Thrower, Arc Shotgun, and Tesla Tower as those appear to be linked to the issue.

Thank you for your continued patience!

 

This week’s patch stops the game from freezing when using the above mentioned weapons and Stratagems.

Read more further down below, to find out about issues that have NOT been resolved yet. Check out the rest of our guides for potential fixes on some of them, if you continue to be denied your right to deliver democracy.

Boeing CEO Steps Down Amid Reports That He’s Got a Few Screws Loose

Posted on by Sarah Cortina

ARLINGTON, VA—Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun has reportedly stepped down from the company following reports that, not unlike some Boeing planes, the CEO himself has a few screws loose.

“I get it, I get it. People are angry because it seems like we’re focusing more on shareholder value than the safety of our aircrafts,” Calhoun said. “But why is everyone so mad about the door flying off? At least no one died. Obviously the same can’t be said for that one Lion Air flight. Or that Ethiopian Airlines flight. But those weren’t in the US so it was a lot easier to get away with. USA! USA! USA!”

“Finance is so complicated,” Calhoun continued, “and what makes or breaks businesses can vary depending on industry. My personal business philosophy can be best tied to this airplane shaped piggy bank.” Calhoun then picked up the object and proceeded to make “PBBBBBTTTTTT” airplane noises with his lips.

Frequent Boeing flier Sam Gregorio was incredulous.

“He’s not leaving until the end of 2024,” Gregorio said. “What’s even the point? He still has months to keep making bad decisions for the company. How many more doors are going to fall off before this guy actually leaves his job? And are we supposed to believe he’s the only one responsible for all this? Is he really that nuts?”

CFO Brian West confirmed the change in power was for good reason.

“While we are sad to hear about Dave’s departure, it is for the better, as he’s clearly lost it — the evidence is right there in plane sight. What really matters in the world of aviation, where we trap 300 paying customers on a metal tube that hurtles through pressurized air for a few hours, is shareholder value. Our stock is already up 2.5%. Sure, we messed up. We’re human, after all. Just humans ignoring humans who raise problems with our products. Maybe everyone has a few screws loose. Like John Barnett, the whistleblower that definitely killed himself.”

At press time, Calhoun was spotted running through the Boeing campus with his arms out to his sides, “flying.”

Potential TikTok Ban Set to Return Kids Back to Long Form Propaganda

Posted on by Rob Bailey

WASHINGTON, D.C. — After an affirmative House vote, the Senate is set to consider banning Tiktok, moving America’s children away from quick, seconds-long propaganda videos back to uncomfortably long books and podcasts.

“TikTok exposes our children to adorable little propaganda clips created by our adversaries,” said Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash, a supporter of the ban. “It has ground the attention span of our youth to dust, robbing them of valuable time that could be spent studying new History books with a fresh perspective on the Civil War, watching Reagan biographies, or listening to lengthy Joe Rogan podcasts where Jamie neglects fact checking a claim that really should have been validated. It is long past time for us to protect future generations from themselves.”

Claire Foster, a self-proclaimed elder member of Gen-Z, disagreed.

“There’s literally barely any newspeak at all,” Foster said. “Most of my algorithm is people arm-dancing to Mao Zedong’s favorite song ‘Red Sun in the Sky.’ It’s not our fault the song is a bussin’ banger, no cap. And that’s protected speech under the first amendment! Just like the choreography to “Takogo, kak Putin!” (“A Man Like Putin!”) and the CCP Duck Fat Challenge!”

Disinformation researcher Dr. Greeley McMahon provided additional insight.

“The kids today don’t realize how much being bombarded with rapidfire disinformation affects them,” said McMahon, thumbing through a dog-eared copy of Das Kapital. “They need to reject materialism, organize, and take labor back from the bourgeoisie. And they’re never going to be able to do any of that if they’re constantly distracted by their phones.”

At press time, Senators waiting to vote on the ban were seen giggling at a TikTok of dancing corgis in tiny Eastern Bloc uniforms.

Krillin Turned away From Own Ride at Dragon Ball Theme Park for Not Meeting Height Requirement

Posted on by Alec Walker

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — The new Saudi-operated Dragonball Z theme park turned Krillin away from his own ride due to safety concerns for his tiny little boy body, multiple sources confirmed.

“Same shit, different day. I barely get any screen time on the show as it is, the least they could do is let me ride my own damn rollercoaster,” said Krillin, while flying around freely through the air faster than a rollercoaster could ever go. “My own daughter can go on the ride, but I can’t. Sure, she could be killed in the street here if her knees are exposed, but that’s nothing compared to the immense shame I feel as a man of below average height. A person can only be stoned to death once; I have to live with my height every day.”

Goku, the face of the theme park and the series, was outraged by the oversight.

“So are you, like, a journalist person? You have to write down everything I say, right? Blehlahlohblahhhhh! Hehehehe. This is fun,” said Goku, while getting tangled in his own mic cord. “Anyway, it’s not right that my friend can’t go on his ride. Is Frieza running the park or something? Hehe, just kidding. I’ll just stuff Krillin into my gi so we can sneak onto the ride together! I bet it’ll make a great filler episode, too. If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to fight the 15-year-old human ride attendant. I hope he’s strong cause I won’t hold back!”

The creator of the park, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, tried to defuse the situation.

“Honestly, if Goku and Krillin weren’t so strong, someone might’ve assassinated them already for complaining publicly. Of course — if any of our park patrons were to complain, absolutely nothing bad would happen to them,” said MBS, winking heavily. “Unfortunately, the rules are the rules, and we here in Saudi Arabia are extremely concerned about park safety. We wouldn’t want anyone being killed on a ride.”

At press time, Krillin was seen attempting to price out leg-lengthening surgery on his cop salary.

Posted on by Michelle Pereira

Backpack Battles bundles up with fellow fan favorite Balatro, as both titles continue dominating the Steam Most Played charts just weeks since their individual releases. To commemorate this event, the bundle is 10% off, and Backpack Battles itself patches in a Balatro themed cosmetic and Jimbo in this 0.9.2c update on March 25, 2025.

The full update notes are below.

 

Backpack Battles is bundling up with Balatro!

Backpack Battles Update Patch Notes 0.9.3 Mar 29

 

Can’t Put It Down!

To celebrate our participation in Steam's Deckbuilders Fest, we collaborated with Balatro for the "Can't Put it Down" bundle - and it's live now! Get both Backpack Battles and Balatro for a 10% discount - or complete the bundle if you already own one of the games.

Balatro is a roguelike deckbuilder where you play illegal poker hands, discover game-changing jokers, and trigger adrenaline-pumping, outrageous combos. We love it!

 

Jimbo is here!

That's why we decided to add our version of Balatro's most prominent Joker Jimbo to Backpack Battles:

Jimbo is a Playing Card, which means you can buy him in the shop when you play as Reaper and have a Deck of Cards in your inventory. His effect changes based on the cards before him in the card chain - you need sets of two, three, or four of the same playing cards. To make the most use of him, place him late in the card chain and count the number of pairs, triplets, and quads.

 

Harlequin Reaper Outfit

And that's not all - this update also comes with a new Poker-themed outfit for the Reaper - dress her up as Harlequin! As always, you can unlock it in the Wardrobe with trophies, and mix-and-match it with the other outfits!

Both Jimbo and the outfit are part of version 0.9.2c which is live now!

Two Major Pro Wrestling Sames Say Goodbye Ahead Of Free Agency

Posted on by Jake Skudder

Two pretty major pro wrestling names are about to become free agents, and they just said goodbye to colleagues in TNA Wrestling.

According to a new report from Fightful Select, the Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) have said their goodbyes to the company:

“Fightful Select was able to confirm PWInsider’s report that there was a sendoff and some farewells at tonight’s TNA tapings in Philadelphia. Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley’s TNA deals are set to expire in about a week, with them slated to be free agents on April 1. They’re expected to have multiple suitors in free agency and as of now aren’t expected back in TNA. However, we’re told the door has been kept open.”

Motor City Machine Guns Leaving TNA

With the Guns leaving TNA, questions are now arising regarding their status going forward and whether they could be heading to WWE or AEW.

Whilst AEW looks more likely right now, Alex Shelley has performed in NXT in the past, and with WWE taking a different direction under Triple H, there is a chance that he could decide to go back to the ‘fed.’

The duo have not confirmed their status going forward, but it will very likely be one of those two as their next destination.

Ronda Rousey Calls Backstage WWE Name “All Around Dirtbag”

Posted on by Jake Skudder

Former WWE Superstar Ronda Rousey has been making some incendiary comments lately, and now there’s even more coming out.

Writing in her new memoir (via SEScoops), Rousey calls former Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis an “all around dirtbag.”

“He looked and acted like an entitled sixty-year-old former frat boy…Whereas Triple H looked for talent and potential in NXT prospects, it appeared John Laurinaitis looked for f*ckability,” she claimed.

Rousey would later go on to call him an “all around dirtbag,” whilst also ripping into the likes of Bruce Prichard, saying they can all “go f*** themselves.” 

Ronda Rousey rips into John Laurinaitis

This isn’t the first time that Ronda has let loose at former members of the WWE backstage team, as she tore apart Vince McMahon in the same memoir (titled Our Fight):

“It’s hard sometimes to know where the evil, unethical, slimeball character of Vince McMahon played out for the cameras ends and the actual questionably ethical, many times sued, and multiple times accused of sexual misconduct Vince McMahon begins” Ronda would state. “That blurred line between character and reality is a recurring theme within the WWE Universe.”

It’s very unlikely that we’ll ever see Ronda back in the company, but considering that she did praise the current head of WWE creative, Triple H, and she has a lot of supporters at the TKO Group, namely those in UFC and the likes of The Rock, so it could happen at some point.
